Mitsubishi ASX

Mitsubishi Manufacturers not only successfully produce electric cars through the i-MiEV strongest. Japanese car manufacturers were also successfully produced the strongest new car. Mitsubishi's new car is the ASX.

In a trial conducted safety Euro NCAP 2011, the European version of Mitsubishi ASX managed to get 5 stars like detikOto quotes from Mitsubishi's official website on Thursday (24/02/2011)

Mitsubishi ASX proven to protect the passenger when the car is hit from front, side and rear. The car is also proven to keep children's safety from impact and also protect pedestrians from bad cider.

Advantages of the Mitsubishi ASX is a safety net called the Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE). With it, ASX body is safe from any conflicts from the outside.

Other factors that cause the Mitsubishi ASX was asked as a car with high-quality level of safety that is equipped with the system features a safety belt pretensioners.

Sharing the same evocative "Kawasemi Blue" color recognition, the new Mitsubishi ASX is a valuable interpretation of the Concept-CX show car, unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, whose success MMC convince management to turn it into a full production car.

Again by nearly 20 cm (4.295 m vs. 4.11 m concept), slightly higher (+ 6.5cm) and wider (+ 2 cm), and featured more upright tailgate all for the sake of optimum packaging, Mitsubishi ASX shares remain Concept -cx is the basic design theme as well as passenger cars as solid stance.

Suggested by the "Jet Fighter" grille gaping - a nod to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. 's F-2 fighter jets and now features the trademark for nearly all Mitsubishi Motors vehicles in Europe on the road (Colt, Lancer and Outlander) - This car-like "attitude" is a key direction for Mitsubishi designers: unencumbered by marketing pressures to simulate the look of an SUV through heavy detailing (not necessarily with the Pajero / Montero / Shogun and L200 are already in the range ...), they further developed their own vocabulary concept-cx towards a "sports hatch" less polarizing yet sharp, expressive and finely executed with proper presence & substance.

Maintaining a concept-cx "compact wedge" that the concept of design with a thrusting side character lines, they optimized the overall shape, making the best use of the long wheelbase of 14.5 inches (2.67 m vs 2.525 m) to create a silhouette of a lower and more balanced by better integration of the wheel arches menggembung.Dengan Thus, the roofline is now flowing toward the rear of the car to improve aerodynamic performance (Cd: 0.32) and further highlight the dynamic profile.

At the front, the Jet Fighter grille appears identical with the Lancer or Outlander itu.Namun, now framed in the clip looks more substantial, its own merger with sculptured hood featuring a double bulge: This serves a dual purpose to contribute to the safety of pedestrians better, though short overhangs, and also to make the body more visible to drivers, improving maneuverability around town.

At the rear, the aim is both to lower and broaden the silhouette, while avoiding any chunkiness resulting from the short overhangs, the sharp aerodynamic lip at the bottom of the backlight lamps, a sleek combination of sloping and wide trapezoidal license plate recess running in between.

Dynamic quality

Inside, the concept of a sharp, sporty elegance continues with a clear emphasis on the form, trim and materials used to fantasize instead of endless pursuit of SUV's.

Consistent with the exterior, the cabin Mitsubishi ASX reflects a clear sense of "dynamic quality" as expressed through hooded meter cluster together with Outlander, soft padding around the center instrument panel itself extending to the door trim or silver accents carefully applied to both sides of the audio system or along door panels.

At the same time, stuff like circled round module chrome shift lever, motorcycle inspiration to both silver accents both sides of the console and for the meter.

Logically, texturing and materials are selected to achieve a touch of the same rights and penampilan.Meskipun color scheme is based on the monotone black interior, use contrasting textures and materials are made to generate dynamism.

In this regard, particular attention is given to soft trim to the area touched by this penghuni.Hal led to the development of a new type of two-tone textured padding with contrastive undulations to feel, sporty smart.

The same approach applies for the seat upholstery in which Mitsubishi designers and their partners from the textile industry created a new woven material arise to add to the overall sense of sporty dynamic quality, while adding drama to the 3D visual understated black interior.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Review

Mitsubishi has a problem with the current formation. Unless you're looking for Lancer, your choice is limited to middle-size Galant sedan and Endeavor and Outlander crossover. Now, is contemplating seppuku Galant and Endeavor has not been completely redesigned since it first went on sale back in 2003. The Outlander, however, has something positive to offer. It can accommodate up to seven passengers (in emergencies), has been named Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick, and tops out at 28 miles per gallon on the highway.

Latest industry trends to be found in the New York auto show is the incredible shrinking crossovers, exemplified by this Juke Nissan and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Both vehicles are making their debut in North America, has a premiere at the Geneva show last month. (The Mitsubishi ASX known as RVR and elsewhere on the planet.)


Mitsubishi know because just two competitive vehicles to choose from is not enough to compete in the industry are eager to fill every niche, and the company appeared to focus on developing two single bright spot in his lineup. Lancer has spawned many variants, the latter being the Lancer Sportback, fun-to-push trains that do not step on the top-trim Lancer Evolution. The Outlander, meanwhile, recently gave a name to a smaller 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, a five-passenger crossover are looking to make a mark in the crowded segment today.

Of the two, the Juke is a strange but funny looking one, while the Sport Outlander look bigger. We also have to say it was more handsome than the larger Outlander Mitsubishi already in the lineup. With an overall length of 169.1 inches, it's just above the foot shorter than big brother, even though the same wheelbases of 105.1 inches.


The Mitsu is supported by the Galant-based running gear, with engine, 148-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Now, that might sound a little weak in the jacked-up station wagon small, but Mitsubishi has tried to make this Sport Outlander light as possible. A base model with manual transmission weighs in at an estimated 3050 pounds, thanks to features like front fenders, plastic recycling and extensive use of high strength steel. Losing weight will be an important advance as a balance of performance cars to government fuel efficiency requirements. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport claims that the EPA numbers will get 31 mpg on the highway.

As usual Outlander, Sport is the front-wheel drive, with the all-wheel-drive is optional. This is a simple on-demand arrangement, transferring torque to the rear wheels when slip occurs at the front. The base ES model has a manual five-speed, a continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters is optional at this level trims and standard on uplevel SE.


Unlike the Outlander, which has a plastic interior that would not look out of place on Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, Sport has a soft-touch materials in the doors and instrument panel, surprising given the expected starting price $ 19,000. Uplevel SE models have features such as automatic climate control, 18-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing windshield wipers, heated front seats, and keyless entry system as standard. Options at this level monster trim including sunroof, navigation system with seven-inch screen, and 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system kicked. Sport Outlander will be sold in late 2010 as a model of 2011.

The Outlander Sport does have a few tricks up its sleeve besides being able to fake a gear shift. It handles surprisingly well for what's essentially a high-riding, tall-roof wagon. The brakes are quite responsive once you push past the first inch of light pedal travel, but over bumps, the tight Lancer-like suspension reveals some flaws in the Noise Vibration and Harshness department. There was some chatter inside the cabin of our test vehicle and, when rolled down a bit, the windows produced a slight rattle. We could chalk up the window rattle to press-car jitters, but the cabin chatter is probably there to stay.

Those problems aren't enough, however, to make us forget the sporty handling, accommodating interior and competitive pricing of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC. Will it become Mitsubishi's third bright spot behind the Lancer and Outlander? The company is crowing that 1,290 units of the Outlander Sport were sold last month. That's peanuts compared to the Honda CR-V, which sold over 19,000 units, but does represent nearly a fifth of the entire brand's sales. That's remarkable for a model only a few months old, and tells us that Mitsubishi is giving buyers exactly what they want.

New Mitsubishi Lancer 2011 Specs and Review

When thinking of the Mitsubishi Lancer, most car enthusiasts envision a charging Evolution X muscled through a remote mountain pass. While the pig Evo spotlight - and imagination car nuts - that is, less aggressive humble Lancer that serves as the foundation and rules halo car annual three-diamond's sales sheet. In 2010, the base Lancer contributed 46% of total U.S. sales of Mitsubishi, Evo only 6%.

For all the significance of the sale, 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer ES we recently to round do not feel like a car that pride, joy, or the breadwinner for several reasons, especially in the ES trim. True, mugs shark-face tension has gained much criticism good and bad since 2007 debut of the Tokyo Motor Show, but has not gone under the knife since. (C-segment competitor named the Civic, Corolla, and Mazda3 all been face-lifted in some capacity since then.) Bits like four-wheel plastic-covered steel 16-inch wrapped in 205/60-16 Dunlop all-season rubber don 't helped cause the exterior looks very small and far below the low-slung body pieces. This view is similar to weight lifting exercise Hugo Boss dress shoes, shoes just do not match.


For all the innocent nature, however, Lancer ES has several important external attributes. Nose, with color-matching inserts and chrome grille surround, not as a "hard" as an example louvered at Evo. Plus, the lack of Gulfstream G6 rear wing makes ES conspicuous to law enforcement. Painted door handles and side mirrors from ES DE differentiate low and an improvement of the standard black pieces.
